Chapter 15: Fate

What is real, the world of wizards or the world of Muggles. Where is the most terrible story to be? Can you think of the most horrific massacre? Even the best stories can't tell the slightest picture of the real world.

Fate, for countless centuries, has been the most feared enemy of all heroes. You can easily destroy your enemies, you can marry the girl you love, you can even claim to hold fate by the throat for a while, but in the end, eternal fate will easily knock you to the ground and show you the cruelest truth.

The more so-called darlings of fate, the more they can feel the pain in the face of a merciless blow. Heaven is impermanent, and everything is just a chicken and a dog.

Sirius' fate was like a botched joke. He was born into the purest Black family in the wizarding world, and all members of the family were Slytherins, whether it was his siblings or his parents, they were all staunch purebloods.

The ancestors of the Black family were opposed to any policy that favored Muggles. In the Elizabethan era, as powerful as the Malfoys, the two families represented two completely different camps: the Malfoys advocated conditional control of Muggles, using Muggles as tools or inferior races, and the Black family believed that Muggles were the cause of the decline of the wizarding world, insisting that Muggles should be eliminated.

Both families thought they were right, and the Malfoys had proposed to Queen Elizabeth. Unfortunately, due to the events of her mother, Queen Anne, Queen Elizabeth is wary of any wizard. This political marriage ended without a hitch.

The Black family has produced many powerful wizards who are very good at the dark arts, including one of Sirius's ancestors, who was once the most annoying headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Today, Blake's portrait still hangs in the principal's office.

Sirius and Bellatrix Lestrange, the mother of Draco Malfoy, the wife of Lucius, are brother and sister. During school, Sirius barely spoke to his older sisters. His sisters were all in Slytherin, and he was the only one in Gryffindor. The most talented wizard of the Black family's generation is Sirius's younger brother, Regulus Black.

Regulus used to be very famous in Slytherin. After Sirius was removed from the family, Regulus became the sole heir to the House of Purity. His status was comparable to Lucius's status in Slytherin at the time.

Slytherin, as the most class-oriented college, has the strictest hierarchy. Tom Riddle was the leader of Slytherin at the time due to his unparalleled talent and natural charisma for dominating during his time at school. Later, Lucius Malfoy relied on the prestige of the Malfoy family and his own efforts, and also became a Slytherin prefect.

At the sorting ceremony, when Sirius was assigned to Gryffindor, the wizards thought something was wrong with the Sorting Hat! Sirius was supposed to take Lucius' place as the new leader of the Serpent House.

Lucius was five years older than Sirius, and by the time Sirius went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Lucius had already passed the general wizarding grade exam with full honors (. L)。 As the eldest son of the Black family, Sirius was no worse than Lucius. It is conceivable that as the son of the top family in the wizarding world, once Sirius enters Slytherin, he will inevitably become the new leader of Slytherin.

When the Sorting Hat uttered the word "Gryffindor", the Slytherins were completely stunned, and Lucius Malfoy's reserved applause turned into an awkward wave. The entire auditorium fell into an eerie silence, cheering and the Gryffindors began to talk.

Albus Dumbledore sat high in the headmaster's seat, even with a slight difference in his eyes. A Gryffindor in the Black family, it's incredible.

Until now, no one knew what had happened that day or why the Sorting Hat had made the choice he did. That's how wonderful fate is.

Later, some members of the Order of the Phoenix recalled that Sirius did not regret joining Gryffindor, even though it made a radical change in his fate, from a continent of openness to a cliff full of ups and downs and thorns.

Sirius insisted that his time with James Porter and Remus Lupin was the happiest. He did not mention another member of the "Marauders".

He loved to tell people about the happy times: how they became Animagus, how they swam in the Forbidden Forest, how Remus Lupin spent together in the Screaming Shack during the full moon, and how Remus Lupin nearly killed Severus Snape.

He ran away from home during the summer vacation after he passed the general wizard level exam in his fifth grade. The members of the Black family refused to talk about it, neither Bellatrix Black Lestrange nor Narcissa Black Malfoy.

During the summer vacation of that year, he went to join his best friend and the heir to another illustrious family, James Porter.

Three of the four "Marauders" are very prominent, Sirius is the heir to the Pure Family, James Potter is the Dead Brothers, and Remus Lupin is protected by Albus Dumbledore. is not mentioned to another partner, and likes to cling to the strong, which has also become the source of tragedy in the future.

The one who felt Sirius's betrayal the most was his younger brother Regulus Actulus Black. The younger brother, who was considered cowardly and gentle by Sirius, was puzzled by his brother's betrayal. Although the relationship between the two brothers was not good, the younger brother was a pure-blood, a Death Eater, and the elder brother was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Regulus, who had been envious of his brother's daring since childhood, planted the seeds of his determination to destroy the Horcruxes in Sirius's runaway.

Two years after Sirius became a Gryffindor, Regulus entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as the leader of the new Slytherin. The two brothers are like strangers from here.

After graduating from Sirius, he joined the Order of the Phoenix. It was very intense, Sirius, who had just graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was a complete child, and during his time at school, he had heard many stories about Voldemort from those Slytherins, some of which made Sirius scoff.

The Slytherins tried to convince Sirius to join the Death Eaters, but he refused.

At that time, the form was very similar to the current form, and the confrontation between the Death Eaters of the Ministry of Magic had reached a fever pitch, and the Ministry of Magic was at a disadvantage. Not many wizards are willing to serve others selflessly. The wizards had to organize themselves and protect their homes.

Under these circumstances, Albus Dumbledore had to allow the newly graduated children to join the Order of the Phoenix. The members of the Order of the Phoenix are mostly children and professors who have just graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Albus Dumbledore is willing to fight, there are too few wizards who fight the Death Eaters to the death.

As representatives of the White Wizard family, the Potter family was naturally on Albus Dumbledore's side. At that time, the form was very unfavorable to the White Wizards. Some families who tried to negotiate with the Death Eaters were ruthlessly destroyed.

The Potters, Longbottoms, Bones, Crouches, and many more were staunch opponents. They all established their own forces, openly or covertly against the Death Eaters.

Later, members of the Order of the Phoenix recalled that Sirius called that time his most valuable time. Fighting for a noble and righteous ideal, Sirius felt very fulfilled and happy even in the face of the danger of death every day.

In the midst of the battle and death, several young people grew up quickly. Shortly after graduation, Potter and Lily soon got married, and Sirius, as Potter's best friend, became the best man at the wedding.

Soon after, Sybil Trelawney made that legendary prophecy, and the nightmare of fate began to begin.

Arrested by the Magical Law Enforcement Team on November 1, 1981, Sirius spent 12 years in Azkaban, the wound of the world, as the only wizard to be thrown directly into Azkaban without trial!

Sirius was in his early twenties when he was cast into Azkaban, and his best and most shining youth was wasted in the form of the black dog Animagus, in a hell where there was no light of day and no happiness.

For Sirius to persevere, there is only one obsession, an obsession for revenge.

This is the gift of fate to Sirius. If the Sorting Hat hadn't sorted him into Gryffindor, if he had been to Slytherin, would he have escaped sanctions, like his sister Bellatrix Lestrange, or like Lucius Malfoy?

History has no ifs. When the Phoenix Patronus appeared at the bottom of Azkaban, Sirius couldn't believe what he was seeing. He knew the Patronus well, and he had followed it more than once. It was the emblem of the Order of the Phoenix, the patron saint of Albus Dundedor.

Over the years, Sirius had also thought about asking Albus Dumbledore for help. But he chose to remain silent, which he took as a form of atonement: Potter and Lily were both dead, and it was because he had mistrusted Peter! It was he who persuaded Potter, and Peter was more inconspicuous and unnoticeable, so that Potter cast the Cruelty Loyalty Spell on Peter.

Sirius hated his self-righteousness at the time, hated himself for not seeing Peter as just a coward afraid of power, and hated his own gullibility at the time. Godric's Valley is attacked, the Potters are dead, and Sirius is completely devastated—his smug cleverness kills his best friend!

During this time, Sirius spent all the rest of his time focusing on Harry Potter, except for protecting Harley Black. He liked Potter's eyes, which made him look a lot like James. He'd watched Harry Quidditch and had a bit of James. Albus Dumbledore forbade him to confess to Harry, and Sirius could only watch in silence.

Albus Dumbledore already knew the truth, but it had been too long. The evidence of innocence is long gone. Unbeknownst to Sirius at this time, Peter Pettigrew, who was considered to be the victim of his own murder, was hiding somewhere in the world just like himself.

Seeing Harry faint in agony at the Quidditch pitch, Sirius almost couldn't help but turn back into a wizard. But there were too many students at that time, and soon the Aurors appeared. Fierce fighting broke out on both sides.

Sirius had been standing guard not far from Harry. Watch Harry being brought back to the castle by Ron and the others. Sirius realized something, he didn't know that there was a direct connection between Harry and Voldemort. Even that prophecy, Sirius always thought it had come true. It wasn't until today, seeing this, that Sirius had a vague sense that something was wrong.

Maybe Albus Dumbledore had his plans, but as Severus Snape later accused Albus Dumbledore: Albus Dumbledore wanted Harry Potter to die!

In that case, would Sirius have allowed that to happen if he were still alive? I'm afraid Harry would never be in such a dangerous situation until Sirius died.

Harry's later sacrifice was certainly noble, and Dumbledore gave his life for it. But as a parent of a child, as Harry's godfather, how could Sirius allow Potter to confront Voldemort while he was alive.

Realizing that there might be some kind of connection between Voldemort and Harry, Sirius' first thought was whether it would hurt Harry. He couldn't speak directly to Harry, so he asked Harley to pass the word.

Harley Black and Potter are not familiar with each other, and there is little intersection between the two. Harley also doesn't want to deal with the Savior. But seeing her uncle's anxious look, Harley nodded anyway.

When Sirius saw that Harley agreed, he told him that he was going to Albus Dumbledore and tell him about it.

Hallie wondered how she could tell Potter about it, and there were a few people she knew who had a good relationship with Potter. Hermione, Ginny, and Luna all seemed to know the boy, but for some reason, Harley thought of Andrew anyway.

After the two parted at the monastery, they hadn't seen each other for several days. Andrew is always nowhere to be seen, as if he is very mysterious and busy. Hallie was worried about her mother, and Sirius didn't want to get too close to each other.

Hallie hesitated, then made up her mind. At this time, the anxious Sirius had already arrived outside the headmaster's office, and there was a violent quarrel in the office, and a wizard roared: "Dumbledore, what do you want? What do you want to do? Is this my personal warning? This is a warning from the Ministry of Magic!"
